Paradox Q4 2020 Report and Livestream

[LeJerque]

Greetings, all! They always say hindsight is 20/20, so let's have a look at the year 2020 in hindsight. Our Q4 and year-end report is coming up!

Paradox will present its report for Q4 2020 next week, on Tuesday, February 23, 2021. As always, this report will be listed on our website at https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/, and we will host a live stream where CEO Ebba Ljungerud and CFO Alexander Bricca will present the report in detail, provide their direct comments and context, and take live questions from viewers. That presentation will occur at 12:00 Noon, Stockholm Time, on our Twitch channel: twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive

There is limited time for the Q&A, so if you have a question you would like to have answered, you can submit one in advance either by responding to this post, or by emailing us at ir@paradoxplaza.com. We will also accept questions from Twitch Chat as time permits! Please be sure to submit your questions before the stream if you'd like it answered during the presentation.

See you there!

After the huge initial success of CK3 the developers have been comparatively quiet on further development, both when it comes to bug fixes and DLCs. Is there a reason no roadmap was released to keep players interested, especially considering many bought a game version on release that includes the first expansions for the game?

Will Studio openings and IP Acquisitions continue at the current pace or in light of the continued developmental issues with VTMB:2 will these be halted and a full audit of current studios and projects be undertaken so that future releases are not continually marketed and delayed?

Why are your core titles, which still bring in the majority of your income (CK3, EU4, Stellaris etc.) neglected with small team sizes and huge delays between content updates?

Maybe a bit harsh question, but in the report you were saying: "In the fourth quarter we released [...] Empire of Sin, [...]. We are not satisfied with the launch, neither with the quality of the game nor how it was received by the market.", but also "For us, it is crucial that our games are well received by the players, so we always choose, if possible, to give our development studios the time required to achieve our quality goals."

So why was Empire of Sin released in that quality?

I would just like to ask if Paradox plans to return to the previous model of regular reports on the development of Bloodlines2 (either in the form of Dev. Diary or another) ...
Or whether today's announcement was a single cry into the void, that will be followed by another six months of silence.

Thanks in advance for your reply.
